How to Play the NYT Strands Puzzle
The game is structured using a grid of six rows and eight columns filled with letters. Players must identify words linked by a common theme, which is hinted at in the game. When a theme word is discovered, it will highlight in blue. Additionally, players search for a special term known as a “spangram,” which is highlighted in yellow.
